Palm Beach House

Beach House by Jayne Design Studio in Palm Beach, FL

Known as Vita Serena, the 1920 Mediterranean Revival home, originally designed by architect Marion Sims Wyeth, was decorated by our studio to feel patinated and refined, with tailored upholstery and touches of velvet and silk. Textural variation adds visual interest -- there are no vivid colors, but the lush materials make it interesting. As noted by Thomas Jayne, "restraint does not have to be boring!" "The architecture of this home is so rich," says Jayne. "What we did with decoration simply supports the architecture and the art. We furnished and decorated it with an eye to quality and sculpture. It's arranged for comfort, but there is a chastity to it."
